Subject: Origins: Why are they called 'Rants'
I checked the database with several different words/phrases and came up with nothing on this, so pardon if its already been flogged to death. I know that such tunes as Oldham Rant and Morpeth Rant are dance tunes, but why are they called "Rants"? Thanks any and all in advance.
